Falklands pathetic?.

An outnumbered force defeats a larger force and brings down a fascist dictatorship.

The bombing of Port Stanley runway,the Paras winning at Goose Green despite being outnumbered 450 to 1500,the defeat of the Argies best unit(the 5th marines) on Tumbledown mountain by the ill-suited-to-the-task Scots Guards,the victories of the Ghurkas,Paras and Welsh Guards the same night...hardly pathetic.

Bill,lets be honest,in 83 and 89 you didnt exactly defeat the Waffen SS...

But we aren’t talking about 83 and 89. We are talking about Iraq, and a modern army.

If you can’t stay on point, at least try to stay in the same century.

And pathetic is a kind description of the handling of the Falklands by a former World power that was strained to defeat a 4th rate banana army. Get over it.

Obviously, you were not involved or you would have seen what I did.
